this is a place you'll never be able to reach without clarity of heart, machimiya!"

[ PERSONAL NOTES. ]
福富・アシストであること
だけど荒北がエースアシストを務める理由は、それだけじゃない。
「エース積んで前走る奴ミンナかっ喰らってイッチバン先頭で見る景色、アシスト以外に味わえンのかヨ、ナァ新開」
あの光景を頭に思い浮かべるだけで、ぞくぞくする。細い隙間をこじ開けた先に広がる視界、大パノラマ。自分の足下から、ずっとずっと伸びる道、どこまでも広がる青い空、観客、歓声、ゴール、さえぎるものは零、あとは、エースを、自分の運んできたものを、ゴールに向かって放つだけ。自分の運んできたものが両の拳を高く突き上げるシーンを、この上ない勝利の表現を、網膜に焼き付けるだけ。
――荒北がアシストたるのは、其れを至上の快感と心得るが故。
荒北は初めて福富をアシストしたレースのことを、忘れられない。それまで福富に言われるがまま人の三倍、ひたすら一人で練習してきた荒北の前に拓けた、どこまでだって進んでゆけそうな、あの景色、あの衝撃。
「インハイであれが見れンなら、オレァマジで、何だってやるね」

過去もしがらみも全て忘れて、ただひたすらペダルを回せ。」

しかし、荒北は全員がエースと言わしめる箱学のレギュラーに選ばれるような男である。並の選手では引いて貰うどころか置き去りにされるのが関の山。つまり、荒北自身の能力の高さ故に、最初のハードルからして高すぎた。尚且つその献身は彼に認められた者にしか発揮されない。従って荒北に運ばれてみたいと願う者は多けれど、その資格を獲ること自体が狭すぎるほどに狭き門だったのだ。
誇り高き野獣は、王にしか傅かない。
手負いであるということ
新開隼人と似ているところ
新開隼人は、天才だった。
彼の才能は、神様からとくべつに与えられたものだった。だからそれを取り上げられてしまったら、もう、新開はどうしていいのかわからない。だけれども、助けを求めることさえ、違う気がした。
荒北も、その才能をとりあげられた時にはこれほど絶望的な思いをしたのだろうか。」
no subject
「あきらめるな」じゃなくて、「欲しいならもぎ取れ」って言える荒北の優しさ。
「頑張れ」、じゃなくて、「進め」。
誰よりも前を見て走ってきたスプリンターに、止まるなって言える荒北はすごく素敵じゃないかな、って思う今日この頃。
喋り方・ぶっきらぼうであること
基本カタカナ：「～だヨ」、「～チャン」、伸ばしで「～のォ」「～だァ」、「あんがとネ」、「バァカチャン」、「ハ！」
漢字読みの言葉をカタカナに変換する事が多い
「嫌い」＝「キライ」、「匂い」＝「ニオイ」
ぶっきらぼうだけど嘘はつけないタイプ、意識して書くこと！
黒田という子
頭で分かることと肌で感じることの違い、ただ純粋に何かを渇望して、それに関して飢えて、強くなって。それを知ってる荒北が、黒田に物を教えずに、ただ練習に付き合って、走ってあげて、「盗め」って言ったのってすごく素敵だな、って思う。

荒北みたいな先輩ってすごく良いなあ… 荒北好きすぎていきつら
